...is rather unhappy and priming himself for a return to campaigning if - as he thinks - May and the Brexiteers agree a deal that keeps UK in the SM and the CU.

Hurrah - The Niglet is back...did he ever go away?

Don't worry, if he comes back the Tories have this one covered. All they need to do is have some referendum under the pretences of making Britain great again of some guff like that, but really it is just to stop the more hard right nut jobs in their party and their voters joining Farage and UKIP. Election goes as planned, Farage goes away, UKIP fade into insignificance and we all live happily ever after. Classic move, tried and tested, fool proof, nothing can go wrong and nothing bad will ever come of it....

Good to see him back. One of the best "politicians" that we've had for years. Much more credible and believable than the current party leaders in my opinion and with a lot more charisma, confidence and skill at public speaking then all of them put together.

Certainly talks a very good game. :thup:

Your idolisation of Wenger is beginning to make sense now :D
 
Oh dear Nigel. What is the matter with you this evening. You seemed to be suggesting that it was reasonable for the EU to seek to have the UK pay for it's signed-up for commitment under the 2014-2020 MAFF. You were I think suggesting a figure of £8bn a year - well yes you can use that figure as using it doesn't bring a total anywhere near the £36bn. However I think your figure is after taking into account payments from the EU of £6bn. And unless you are going to replace that money you have to really stick with the £13bn nett figure - which over the period from now to the end of the current MAFF gets us to around the £36bn figure.

Nonetheless - it seemed that you had accepted the principle that we pay what we owe - as that is the 'British way'. Are you changing your tune?

Mind you - you were pretty furious with Mr Gove suggesting in Denmark that we won't be stopping fishing ion our territorial waters as UK ports etc can't handle all the fish. Oh dear you were not happy. Too much showing of hand going on - and Nigel - you smelt something fishy going on.

Not sure Farage is a member of this Forum.

It's an Open Letter.

Point is - he's accepting that UK will have to pay a rather lot of money as an exit settlement and that it makes sense to have a transition period. Sounds like he'll be asking our Foreign Secretary to whistle a wee tune.

And of course he thinks that the Gov is not being open enough about it's plans, and is doing too much squabbling in public, and it is that which is giving rise to so much uncertainty in business and the economy - with the impact that that is having.

He's almost sounding like a Remainiac

Am sure Nigel will forego his EU pension to help with the bill!

He'll happily take it when it is not an EU pension but a UK pension.

And listening yesterday evening - latest words of wisdom from Nigel in respect of immigration when commenting on wee Ruthie's comments - government only makes the case for immigration on the basis of the endlessly seeking to increase GDP. Nigel reckons we should forget that. We don't need to ever increase GDP - and if we abandon that chase we do not need immigration to support growth in the economy. Well that's a positive economic strategy. But I suppose we do not need to forever strive for economic growth - though I am not sure how shareholders and investors in business might view stagnant or negative economic growth, or how the jobless and jobseeking might view it.

Anyway. Nigel thinks there are other things more important. And wee Ruthie is wrong.

If you can stem the increase or even reduce population then you reduce demand such that reduced growth is not a problem. The cake stays the same size but less people want a slice.

What I found hugely amusing is it's always the same folk moaning about shortages of services loudly advocating open door immigration. Lefites don't do maths....
